Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A lot of fun.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,
27 Feb 2008
rotten:
A potentially charming premise yields only a handful of chuckles.

fresh:
This went direct to video in Britain, but as latter-day Hollywood romantic comedies go, it has a bit more style than you might expect.
– Trevor Johnston,
Time Out,
24 Jun 2006
rotten:

– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
The movie itself is surprisingly affecting, perhaps because Shepherd never goes for easy laughs but plays her character seriously.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
